A funny Michael Jordan Story

From the Daily Herald:

Weekend fling

ESPN.com’s Bill Simmons on watching Michael Jordan live it up at the hotel bar during all-star weekend, complete with cards, cigars and friends:

“MJ kept getting louder and louder, and he and (Charles) Oakley were cleaning up … and then suddenly … MJ’s wife shows up… and poor MJ looks like somebody who took a no-hitter into the ninth, then gave up a triple off the left-field wall.

“The trash-talking stops. He slumps in his seat like a little kid. The cigar goes out. No more hangin’ with the boys. Time to be a husband again … I lean over to (a friend) to say, ‘Look at that, he’s just like us.’ Just your average guy getting derailed by his wife. For once in my life, I didn’t want to be like Mike.’’
